Newsday.com: Man Won’t Be Charged Over Bush Colo. Visit — News of the peculiar!
DENVER — Federal prosecutors will not file charges against a man who removed three people from a President Bush appearance earlier this year after they arrived in a car with a bumper sticker reading “No More Blood for Oil,” officials said Friday.
The Secret Service, which had been investigating to determine whether the man impersonated a Secret Service officer, recently turned over its report to prosecutors.
U.S. Attorney William Leone said there was not enough evidence to prosecute the man. “Criminal law is not an appropriate tool to resolve this dispute,” he said. “The normal give and take of the political system is the appropriate venue for a resolution.”
An attorney for Karen Bauer, Leslie Weise and Alex Young said his clients plan to pursue a civil lawsuit against the person, accusing him of violating their free-speech rights and assaulting them.
“We don’t know who it was, but we’ll find out who it was and we’ll sue him,” said lawyer Dan Recht. “I’m disappointed but not surprised charges won’t be filed, but it remains to be seen whether the Secret Service did a thorough investigation.”
My guess: it was Karl Rove.
haha funny how some members of our administration feel like freely revealing this type of information, but when something like this happens suddenly nobody wants to be bragging to anyone about who it was. nice one for the administration here. poor kids though. if it were me, i wouldnt have left I would have made a scene
